[hider= Kotka] [center] [b]RACE NAME:[/b] Kotka, Kotkan, Kotkans [b]RACE TRAITS:[/b] Shoulder/Back Wings (-1) - Members of this species, for one reason or another, have retained or evolved wings early in their evolution. These wings portruding from their backs allow members of this species to take to the sky in limited capabilities. While not as efficient or strong as wings attached to their arms, these wings allow them to use their arms for various tasks while airborne. Using them is somewhat tiring, and remaining in the air for extended periods can be very tiring, even to the most athletic of their members. However, these wings are often far more extravagant than that of other races, giving a certain aura of charm or malice around the members who carry them. Lightweight Skeleton (0) - Members of this species have a complex, mostly hollow bone structure which significantly lightens their body mass. As a result, they are able to move much faster with the same amount of body weight and tire out slower, and are quite acrobatic by nature. However they are very susceptible to blunt force trauma, a fraction of the normal strength needed to break their bones and inflict injuries. Furthermore, their bones will often not heal properly afterwards, as a result of their complicated internal structure. Nonadaptive (+1) - Members of this species don't adapt particularly well to foreign environments and struggle to survive in places that aren't similar to their birth. The extreme cold or heat strains their nervous and immune systems, making them fatigued and sickly on such places. [b]RACE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/sRqwAf3.jpg[/img] The Kotkans are a very human like race, sporting significantly large, impressive looking wings. These wings sprout from their lower backs and offer limited flight capabilities thanks to their size. Kotkans normally live between fifty to a hundred years if given in good health, and often grow no taller than five feet. Their feather color, hair color, and skin color can vary between individuals, but often consistently posses very good endurance and flexibility thanks to the physical strains of flight. [b]POPULATION:[/b] Up for community vote, depending on traits [b]RACE BEHAVIOUR:[/b] A Kotka is at home in the sky. As such, a Kotka will prefer higher elevations, chillier climates, and terrain favorable to easy lift off such as nearby cliffs, ravines, or hills. Otherwise, they posses the same level of sapience of a normal human, perhaps being more naturally inclined towards quick thinking and multi-tasking due to the complicated and unpredictable nature of flight.
